Thank you both for your contributions. I am grateful for the first colorization but if you think the alternate image as suggested will work better I can certainly see the potential in that. I also certainly agree that upscaling does not necessarily enhance an image and the example posted is apt.
Attached is a 1924 image of George Grant with the St. Louis Browns. A right handed pitcher who made his debut in 1923 appearing in 4 games with the Browns. Appeared in 38 games spread over 3 consecutive seasons with the Browns posting an ERA in each season over 5.
Returned to the Majors in 1927 and had his most productive spell in his 3 years with Cleveland. 1928 was by far his best season posting a 10-8 record. After another 1 year absence returned in 1931 with Pittsburgh. Career ERA was 5.65 over 347 innings.
